Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Restitution payments continue during community confinement
The law requires some prisoners in supervised community confinement to keep paying any outstanding victim restitution. This applies only if the commissioner orders it and the prisoner has money to pay. Payments must be similar to what would have been required in prison.
Medical transfers for terminally ill prisoners
The commissioner can transfer a terminally or severely ill prisoner to supervised community confinement without the usual eligibility rules, if the prisoner agrees. The medical director must state in writing that outside care is medically appropriate. The prisoner must live in an approved hospital or care facility, or at home with approved services. The commissioner may waive mandatory conditions that do not fit. The prisoner must share medical information when asked. The commissioner must revoke the transfer if the information is not provided or the medical criteria are no longer met.
Extra review for domestic violence transfers
For crimes against a family or household member or a dating partner, transfers get extra review. The department must review any validated domestic violence risk assessment, including one done by law enforcement. It must notify the local district attorney and a local domestic violence resource center so they can respond or provide information.
More victim and community input
The Department of Corrections must tell community members and victims about a prisoner's conduct, work, education, and rehabilitation when weighing a transfer. It must consider input from the Office of Victim Services and allow extra time if that office asks. The department must check that the plan answers reasonable safety concerns from the community and victims. A prisoner who is eligible but denied transfer can appeal to the commissioner.
